In Grade 2:
-We learned vocabulary related to valentine's day.
-We learned to express our feelings towards our family members and use different verbs to describe activities that we do with them.

-We reviewed valentine's day vocabulary and verbs and used them to write sentences describing why we love the different members of our families using the word "parceque" (because).

Happy valentine's day to all, I hope you enjoy your long weekend with your families and loved ones!
